Mark Green Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Hi Gang, A gun dealer I know showed me this old "Chinese" sword that was looted from a Japanese museum just after the war. Any ideas? It sure looks Chinese to me, or Korean maybe. Thanks for any help. Quote

Gilles Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Hello, It is a chinese DA DAO used by soldiers of the numerous chinese warlords before WWII. They had this kind of swords, a lot of different kinds exist and it was usually forged locally. The same kind was also used in Indo China. Hope it helps Quote
